Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S 24-70mm

La bague de contrôle programmable, l’écran OLED et le moteur pas-à-pas offrent une polyvalence accrue pour la vidéo et la manipulation. Idéal pour les photographes de paysage et vidéastes exigeants recherchant un zoom lumineux et robuste en monture Z.

En 30 secondes
Le Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S est une bombe optique qui écrase la concurrence sur la netteté. L'absence de stabilisation est son seul vrai talon d'Achille, surtout en vidéo. Si la qualité d'image prime sur tout, achetez-le les yeux fermés, sinon le f/4 fera très bien l'affaire.

The proof
Performances
Les chiffres parlent d'eux-mêmes : qualité optique dans le top 6% selon notre base, c'est du très lourd. Le piqué est clinique, les aberrations parfaitement maitrisées, et les flares sont quasi inexistants. L'autofocus est dans la moyenne, mais dans la vraie vie il est véloce et accroche bien, surtout avec les derniers boitiers Z. Par contre, l'absence de stabilisation fait tache. Sans VR intégré, vous devrez monter en ISO ou vous appuyer sur la stab du boitier. Le bokeh est honnête mais sans magie, et les amateurs de proxy seront déçus par le rapport de reproduction riquiqui.

Face à la concurrence
Face au Panasonic 24-200mm, le Nikon joue la carte de la luminosité et de la qualité d'image, au prix d'une plage focale bien plus sage. Le Canon RF 14-35mm f/4 est un rival indirect : il offre un vrai grand angle mais perd un diaphragme et coûte aussi cher. Pour ceux qui cherchent un compagnon téléobjectif, le Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 est une pépite, mais c'est une autre focale. Bref, le Nikon est le roi de la plage standard, à condition d'accepter de ne pas couvrir tous les besoins.

Price
Rapport qualité-prix
Le rapport qualité-prix est un peu frustrant. Ce n'est pas un mauvais objectif, loin de là, mais le prix s'envole vite. On l'a vu de 1250 $ à 3099 $ selon les boutiques ; le meilleur deal du moment semble être chez Newegg, alors gardez l'œil ouvert. Si vous exploitez chaque once de qualité optique, ça vaut la dépense. Pour beaucoup, le 24-70mm f/4 reste une affaire sacrément plus sage.

Aperçu
Ce 24-70mm f/2.8 S, c'est le zoom standard de référence chez Nikon, taillé pour les hybrides Z. On va pas tourner autour du pot : son point fort, c'est l'optique. La netteté est dingue du centre aux bords, même à pleine ouverture, et le traitement antireflet fait des miracles en contre-jour. Le f/2.8 constant est parfait pour isoler un sujet ou bosser quand la lumière baisse, et l'autofocus est rapide et quasi silencieux, un vrai régal en vidéo.
Questions fréquentes
Q: Est-ce que cet objectif est compatible avec un reflex Nikon comme le D850 ?
Non, il utilise la monture Z des hybrides plein format. Pour l'adapter sur un reflex F, il faut la bague FTZ, ce qui ajoute du poids et un surcoût.
Q: Pourquoi choisir le f/2.8 plutôt que le 24-70mm f/4 ?
Le f/2.8 laisse entrer deux fois plus de lumière, permettant de figer le mouvement en basse lumière et d'obtenir un fond plus flou. C'est le choix des pros qui ne veulent pas transiger, mais le f/4 est plus léger et bien moins cher.
Q: L'objectif résiste-t-il à la pluie ?
Oui, Nikon le dote de joints d'étanchéité tout autour de la monture et des bagues. Une averse ne lui fait pas peur, mais évitez l'immersion.
À qui ce produit ne convient pas
Les vidéastes qui filment beaucoup à main levée : sans stabilisation, les plans bougent trop, même avec un bon stabilisateur de boitier. Oubliez aussi si vous cherchez un bokeh velouté pour le portrait, le rendu d'arrière-plan reste correct sans être mémorable. Enfin, si votre budget est serré, le 24-70mm f/4 Z est une alternative bien plus légère et franchement convaincante.
Verdict
Ce 24-70mm f/2.8 S est taillé pour les pros et les passionnés qui veulent le meilleur piqué possible en reportage, paysage ou mariage. Si vous bossez souvent sur trépied ou avec un éclairage maitrisé, vous adorerez sa netteté chirurgicale. Les vidéastes nomades passeront leur chemin, tout comme les chasseurs de bokeh crémeux. Pour la photo pure, c'est une valeur sûre, mais assurez-vous d'en avoir vraiment besoin.
